I loved the triclimate system. Hence, despite studying other brands, especially the funky Spyder ski jackets which came in X’s size, I was still keen on getting back the same old, safe and boring North Face. The problem was X required a size XXS but most sites only offered XS at best which would be too big for him.

I was not getting a good set of options too.

I had to keep changing and fine tuning my keywords till I had more varied results being returned.

I trawled through pages and eventually found what I wanted on a page 5 or 6. After checking that the website was legit and with a 15% Mother’s Day discount, I was sold. Literally sold.

It sure felt like digging for gold online! The usual price was US$170, marked down to US$102 and with an additional 15% discount, it was US$86.70. Given today’s exchange rate, it was probably S$125.

As usual, I celebrated my steal a tad early and had my order cancelled!! I had to use a US credit card with a US billing address. The order had to be shipped to the billing address. Horrors and disappointments!

I had to search deeper, find another website with a steeper price tag but hey, I hope we would get it, as in no more cancellation!
